Golden hour glow and favorite oversized sweater – doesn’t get much better than this! Feeling cozy inside and out today, chasing those autumn leaves and simple pleasures. Little moments like these that...

Here we go...

“There,” we say, isn't there? Always ‘there’. A subtle shift in posture – not quite a smile, more a turn off the corner of the mouth, hasn’t been for years maybe. The wool feels scratchy tonight, doesn't it? Not that scratchy, obviously – nothing bad has happened since…well, last time you were here. It was a while ago, wasn't it? Before the rain started doing its slow work on everything but us, mostly.

We can see the flicker then, don’t think you do. That slight tightening around the eyes when he mentioned the dog needing vet bills again – silly thing, Buster, always sniffing out trouble. It’s comfortable, though, isn’t it? This quietness. Lessens the chances of hearing too much. Too many questions, perhaps.

You’re staring, naturally. Always staring. Like you weren’t sure if you should be back, or if we’d forgotten about you already. Probably both, really. And probably didn’t mind so much. Did him well, didn't he? Handsome man, good laugh…excepted his wine every night.

This shawl – cashmere, expensive, inherited. Feels heavy sometimes, all these things – not necessarily a burden, just…weighting. We tug it closer, a little self conscious, admit it. He hated when we did that. Didn’, t we?

Now look at us, sitting here, watching you. Aren't you wondering why we haven't moved in twenty years?”

What do you think? How would you rate it? Let us know which aspects worked particularly well! Do you want another shot with different prompts?
